2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee complaints

MY JEEP HAS LESS THAN 90,000 MILES AND I HAVE HAD IT TOWED THREE TIMES IN ONE YEAR FOR CRANK SHAFT CENSORS JEEP PLACE REPLACED THEM EACH TIME SUPPOSEDLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE SPEED AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE FAN MOTOR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED FAILURES IDENTICAL TO THE ONES MENTIONED IN THE RECALL, BUT WAS DISPLEASED TO DISCOVER THAT HER VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL DEFECT. THE CONTACT IS AWARE OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 100,000.

ONLY COLD AIR BLOWS FROM THE RIGHT SIDE VENTS ON MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. THIS BEGAN THE END OF THIS PAST WINTER. THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS THE HEAT VENTS AND THE DEFROST VENT, THEREFORE CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD, AS THE RIGHT SIDE WINDSHIELD ICES UP. FROM MY SEARCHES, THIS APPEARS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM, EFFECTING MANY JEEP OWNERS. MY MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP, SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT A GRAND TO FIX. HE ALSO DID NOT EVEN ASK ME IF I WANTED TO GET IT FIX, ALMOST LIKE IT WAS TOO TIME CONSUMING AND DID NOT WANT ME TO GET IT FIXED. SO, THEREFORE I HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET. *TR

JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, 2000' LOSING ANTI FREEZE WITH NO OBVIOUS SOURCE OF LEAK. NOW OVERHEATING TO MAX TEMPERATURE EVEN THOUGH FULLY SERVICED WITH COOLANT. *TR

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE. REPLACED FAN CLUTCH, THERMOSTAT AND WATER PUMP. ENGINE STILL OVERHEATS AT IDLE SPEED. JUST OVER 100,000 MILES. *TR

WHEN I AM IDLING OR MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED MY TEMPERATURE WILL RISE CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO OVER HEAT. I'M ALSO LOSING COOLANT VERY FAST BUT CAN NOT SEE WHERE IT IS GOING. *TR

THE FAILURE IS IN THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. THE FAILURE CAUSES THE AIR CONDITIONER TO ONLY BLOW COLD AIR. THE REPAIR WOULD COST BETWEEN $1500 AND $2500. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY STALL WITHOUT WARNING. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR DURING THE FAILURES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE DAYS LATER. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS, BUT NO CODES SURFACED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. HE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND IS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH OR IDLING, THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO WORK, BUT THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND WILL NOT RESTART UNTIL 10-15 MINUTES LATER. THE FAILURE IS WORSENING AND A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED; HOWEVER, THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 87,000.

I WANT TO SEND A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ON OUR 2000 JEEP. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 4 OF THESE DUE TO THE "QUACKING" SOUND THAT EVENTUALLY SHOWS UP. IT IS A VERY ANNOYING SOUND AND BESIDES THAT THE LOCK DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. I AM REQUESTING A RECALL BE MADE FOR JEEP TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ON MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE STARTED TO MAKE A "QUACKING" NOISE WHEN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. IT WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. IT JUST STARTED HAPPENING WITH NO INCIDENT AND THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY RARELY EVEN USED. *TR

VENTILATION SYSTEM IS BLOWING COLD AIR EVEN WITH THE HEAT ON. *TR

NOTICED IN FALL OF 07 THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS DROPPING TO ZERO WHEN THE VEHICLE WARMED UP. CHECK GAUGES LIGHT WOULD COME ON. IN WINTER 07, STARTED HAVING TO REFILL THE COOLANT. I HAD THE COOLANT CHECKED AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. RECENTLY HAD TROUBLE STARTING THE ENGINE AND TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. SHOP TECHNICIAN SAID MY ENGINE IS GOING TO BLOW AND SHOULD REPLACE IT ASAP. UNACCEPTABLE! I FOLLOWED EVERY OIL CHANGE RELIGIOUSLY! *TR

UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION OF 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO FROM A STOP POSITION WITH HORSE TRAILER ATTACHED ALMOST COST SERIOUS INJURY TO LIFE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. VEHICLE WAS IN STOPPED POSITION. FOOT WAS ON BRAKE PEDAL. CAR REVVED UP ON IT'S OWN AND PUSHED VEHICLE AND HORSE TRAILER 5-6 FOOT IN REVERSE -- ALTHOUGH BRAKE PEDAL WAS BEING DEPRESSED (I WAS ALMOST STANDING ON IT). I READ OVER THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A SOMEHOW COMMON OCCURRENCE AND WANTED TO REPORT IT AS WELL. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING. WILL NOT GO UP. HAVE NOT FIXED BUT UNDERSTAND PRICE FOR FIX IS AROUND $500. *TR

I OWN A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED. THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM WERE (1) RAPID FOGGING OF FRONT WINDSHIELD,(2) FOGGING OF FRONT PASSENGER WINDOWS,(3) FAILURE OF PASSENGER HEAT WHILE STILL MAINTAINING DRIVER HEAT FUNCTION, AND (4) ONLY COLD AIR RELEASE ON PASSENGER SIDE OF JEEP. CONSEQUENTLY,(1) THE WINDSHIELD AND FRONT WINDOWS DO NOT DEFOG, AND (2) NO HEAT WHATSOEVER COMES FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR AND DASHBOARD VENTILATION SYSTEM. TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, A "BLEND AIR DOOR" IS NECESSARY AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,400. ACCORDING TO THE CERTIFIED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND ONLINE FORUMS, THIS HAS BECOME A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR 2000-2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED'S WITH DUAL ZONE VENTILATION SYSTEMS. GIVEN THE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF 110,000, I THOUGHT IT A REASONABLE FAILURE. LATER I FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE. 14 MONTHS LATER, THE HEATER BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN AND SEEMED NOT TO RESPOND TO THE CONTROLS. THE SHOP SAYS IT IS THE "BLEND DOORS" AGAIN! I TOLD THEM THEY WERE REPLACED 14 MONTHS EARLIER AND THEY REPLIED IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS EVERY SERVICE COORDINATOR AT THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP HAD A SET OF BAD BLEND DOORS UNDER THEIR DESK TO SHOW PEOPLE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS! IF THIS IS SO COMMON, IT SEEMS THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT! 14 MONTHS EXPECTED LIFETIME?? $3K IN 14 MONTHS JUST TO GET A HEATER WORKING? TOO MUCH! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!!

I HAVE A COOLANT LEAK THAT I CAN NOT GET FIXED. NO VISIBLE LEAK, I HAVE HAD PRESSURE TEST AFTER TEST, I HAD THE HEAD GASKET FIXED, RADIATOR CAP, ALOT OF WORK DONE ON IT AND IT CONTINUES TO LOSE COOLANT AT RAPID RATES. EVERY THREE TO FOUR DAYS I AM FILLING MY COOLANT UP. ALSO, MY REAR BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT AND DON'T WORK WHEN MY LIGHTS ARE ON, AND I HAVE HAD THOSE REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES ALSO!! VERY FRUSTRATING... NO ONE CAN FIND THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK AND I HAVE READ PAGE AFTER PAGE OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET CONCERNING THE EXACT THING WITH THE EXACT MODEL!! *TR

BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES-WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE BEEN DOING, THE MANUFACTURER IS WELL AWARE THAT THERE IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE LIGHTS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE, NOT "GO TO THE DEALER AND PAY THE RIDICULOUS RATES FOR REPAIR". *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS INVOLVED IN A NEAR HEAD ON COLLISION. HE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 10 MPH AND WAS HIT BY A VEHICLE GOING ABOUT 35MPH. HIS FENDER HIT THE CENTER OF OUR GRILL. OUR BUMPER WAS TORN OFF, THE HOOD PUSHED UP TO THE WINDSHIELD AND THE MOTOR PUSHED TO A 45 DEG. ANGLE. THE JEEPS AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, THE OTHER VEHICLES DID. *TR

ALL 2000 GRAND CL V6 HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH NO RECALL. ENGINE OVERHEATS, LOSES COOLANT & CAN'T FIND LEAK. *TR

WITHIN 2 WEEKS BOTH REAR BRAKE/TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. AFTER CHECKING ALL FUSES AND BULBS THE IT WAS FOUND TO BE A FAULTY GROUND CONTACT WITHIN THE LIGHT HOUSING DUE TO POOR DESIGN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED BOTH FIXTURES AT MY EXPENSE SINCE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. AFTER IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME 2 WEEKS LATER I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FINDING A REPAIR MESSAGE BOARD WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/VIEWMORECOMMENTS_REVIEW_33943_11.HTML THAT ASSISTED ME IN IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM AND FIXING IT PERMANENTLY. AT THE END IS THE PROCEDURE IDENTIFIED ON THE WEBSITE.FEELING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE (DRIVING AND FIRE HAZARD) I AM REPORTING IT TO ASSIST OTHERS TO FIX THE SITUATION AND MAKING DODGE/JEEP LIABLE FOR REPAIRS. 1REMOVE THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. MOST OF YOU KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY IF YOU'VE CHANGED BULBS, SO I WON'T COVER THAT. 2DISCONNECT THE WIRING HARNESS BY SLIDING THE RED LOCKING CLIP TO THE SIDE IN ORDER TO PRESS THE SIDE OF THE MALE CONNECTOR AND PULL APART. 3. ONCE YOU'VE GOT THE TAIL ASSEMBLY AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE AND ON A BENCH, REMOVE THE LIGHT SOCKET FOR THE TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT. YOU WILL SEE 3 SILVER CONTACT POINTS INSIDE THE BLACK PLASTIC RING. 2 ARE GROUPED TOGETHER AND THERE IS ONE THAT IS OPPOSITE OF THE 2. THE ONE BY ITSELF IS THE GROUND; THE OTHER TWO ARE THE CONTACTS FOR THE TAIL LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT. THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE GROUND CONNECTOR. 4 CLEAN ALL CONTACTS WITH A Q-TIP AND SOME SORT OF CONTACT CLEANER. 5. YOU SHOULD NOTICE THAT THE GROUND CONT

THIS PAST WINTER ('07-'08), THE REAR DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD QUACKING NOISE UPON LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. ALSO I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT THESE TWO DOORS MUST BE MANUALLY LOCKED AS THEY NO LONGER LOCK UPON AUTOMATIC LOCKING WITH THE REMOTE OR WITH THE MASTER CONTROL ON THE DRIVER DOOR. *TR

COOLANT LOSS TWO WATER PUMPS IN 2 YEARS 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. *TR

ENGINE OVERHEATING HAD TO HAVE NEW RADIATOR AND FAN. *TR

POWER WINDOW MANUFACTURERS DEFECT COULD CAUSE SEVERE PROBLEMS IN COLD WEATHER. JEEP GR CHEROKEE 2000 MODEL/YEAR HAS A PLASTIC PART THAT CRIMPS AND FAILS IN THE REGULATOR FOR THE POWER WINDOW ASSEMBLY. MULTIPLE WEBSITES REVEAL THE PROBLEM IS PERVASIVE WITH JEEP OWNERS. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WILL NOT WORK WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON AT NIGHT. IT WORKS FINE WHEN I PRESS MY BRAKE IF THE LIGHTS ARE NOT ON. I HAVE REPLACED ALL BULBS AND THIS STILL DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NOW THE OTHER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER JEEPS WHILE DRIVING THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE IS HAVING PROBLEMS LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLE. THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMES ON AND I HAVE TO ADD COOLANT WEEKLY, ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAK. MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK WHEN A MECHANIC TOLD ME THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE AND MIXING WITH MY OIL. THE MECHANIC ESTIMATED I WILL NEED A COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE WITHIN A FEW MONTHS SINCE THE COOLANT-OIL MIXTURE HAS BEEN RUNNING THROUGH MY ENGINE FOR SOME TIME NOW. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. MY REAR LEFT BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHT GOES OUT WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE ROTORS AND FINALLY HAD THE MECHANIC REPLACE THEM WITH A DIFFERENT KIND. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE..INSURANCE TOTALED IT..FRONT END COLLISION..AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CAR HAD 88,000...MILES. *TR

RECENTLY WAS TOLD, BY ANOTHER MOTORIST WHO FOLLOWED ME TO MY DRIVEWAY, THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. AFTER CHECKING THE USUAL DEFECTS (FUSES, BULBS, RELAYS) AND NOT FINDING ANY PROBLEMS I WENT ONLINE AND WAS SHOCKED TO FIND MULTIPLE POSTINGS RELATED TO BRAKE LIGHT FAILURES ON JEEP GRAND CHEROKEES (MINE IS A 2000) I WAS ALSO SHOCKED THAT DESPITE REPEATED POSTINGS ON THIS PROBLEM ,DATING BACK SEVERAL YEARS, THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THESE VEHICLES THAT CAUSE BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL, LIGHTS THAT ALERT DRIVERS BEHIND YOU THAT YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SLOWING/STOPPING. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? ARE THEY WAITING FOR A TRAGEDY TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING? THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE RESORTING TO HOMEMADE REMEDIES RATHER THAN PAY THE EXCESSIVE COST OF REPLACING A DEFICIENT ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE TROUBLING. I WON'T EVEN GET INTO MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL RANDOMLY WORKING, ALSO MENTIONED ON THE MESSAGE BOARDS. JEEP CAN CONSIDER ITSELF LUCKY THAT I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM BY ANOTHER MOTORIST, RATHER THAN AS A RESULT OF MY VEHICLE BEING REAR-ENDED BY A DRIVER UNAWARE THAT I WAS SLOWING. MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU COULD OFFER IN ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

I PURCHASED A JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BRAND NEW IN THE YEAR OF 2000. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE HEATING OF THE VEHICLE. OCTOBER OF 2005 NO HEAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. JANUARY 23,2007 THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOW AGAIN FEBRUARY 22, 2008 NOW IT'S THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I'M WOUNDING IF THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. ALSO MY RECENT RECALL ABOUT THE ELECTRIC RADIATOR FAN, I PAID OUT OF POCKET $836.90 TO REPLACED MY RADIATOR FAN AUGUST 2, 2006. I THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THAT EXPENSED BECAUSE IT WAS RECALLED AFTER THE FACT. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES VEHICLE SHUTS OFF LEAVING DRIVER WITH NO POWER STEERING AND LIGHT BRAKES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER WAY TO DIAGNOSIS THE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I HAVE NO HEAT AND CAN'T DEFROST THE WINDOWS. I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE BENDER BOARDS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF ABOUT $1,200/. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH JEEP. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY CHRYSLER AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR

MY 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 6 CYL. 4X4 HAS HAD EXTENSIVE ROTOR PROBLEMS LEADING TO REPLACEMENT OF ROTORS AT 19,000 (COVERED BY DEALER), 40,000 (AT MY EXPENSE), AT 63,520, AGAIN AT MY EXPENSE, AT 90,000, AND NOW AGAIN, REPLACING ALL 4 ROTORS AT 363.50 PER SET AT 112,000 MILES. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I HAVE A 200 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO AND AFTER READING MANY SITES (BLOGS, COMPLAINT SITES, ETC.) I SEE THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS I AM. MY JEEP HAS 101,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS EXPERIENCING COOLANT LEAKS AND ALSO THE CRACK IN THE CYLINDER HEAD BETWEEN THE 3RD AND 4TH CYLINDER. NOW THE Y WAY I SEE IT, IS THAT IS SOOOOOO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM THEN THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT. IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMERS THAT WE ARE SHELLING OUT ALL OF THIS MONEY FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS IN THE VEHICLE DESIGN. *TR

CHRYSLER F25 SAFETY RECALL FOR ELECTRIC FAN SEPARATION. RECALL LETTER STATES" THIS CAN DAMAGE RADIATOR AND/OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT." THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE CAUSING 2,600 WORTH OF DAMAGE. CHRYSLER WILL NOT PAY REPAIR BILL, I'VE GOT TO. *CN

LEFT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK IS INOPERABLE. MAKES LOUD SOUND WHEN LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATE WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS WHEN I LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS USING EITHER OF THE LOCK BUTTONS ON THE FRONT DOORS. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHT GO OUT WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. TURN SIGNAL WORKS WHEN BRAKE IS NOT APPLIED. BRAKE LIGHT TYPICALLY WORKS WHEN TURN SIGNAL IS NOT ON. HAVE REPLACED LIGHT BULBS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. OBVIOUSLY NOT THE PROBLEM...AND AFTER READING SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS I SEE THAT THIS IS COMMON AND IS NOT RELATED TO THE BULBS AT ALL SO I WILL STOP WASTING MY MONEY ON BULBS! *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF MY VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A SQUEAK. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY WERE NOT SURE IF THE BOLTS SECURING THE SEAT HAVE LOOSENED OR THE WELDS HAVE CRACKED. ALL I'M TOLD IS BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL TELL ME HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO REPAIR IT. READING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A SAFETY RECALL. *TR
